A 10 year old Palestinian girl is taking the internet by storm publishing a series of independent news reports on anti-Israel protests in her town.

While an amassing of NATO troops in states bordering the U.S.’ Cold War foe might be troubling news in itself, an examination of several factors provides ample reason for vigilance.
(ANTIMEDIA) It seems like almost everyday now we hear some strange story about a robot, from the Microsoft Twitterbot going full Nazi in 24 hours to Google’s AI digesting romance novels and regurgitating them as postmodern poetry.
(ANTIMEDIA) United Kingdom — A new startup is selling details of the online activity log of your life, taking the screening of potential new housing tenants to a new level.
